The Washington Capitals and the Houston Rockets each discovered the same lesson Monday night…

their opponents are really good.

I never doubted Golden State would come back to win its Game Seven; they’re just too good to lose. Vegas, though? They can be beat. Even if the Capitals lose tonight I can still see it happening.

Local bias? Preferential bias? Wishful thinking?

Probably all of the above.

Still gonna be a great game.
